Convenient location, close to the historical center of the city - a 5-minute walk from Sultanahmet Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Byzantine Walls and Gulhane Park. The rooms are spacious enough, and there is a beautiful view from the window. The interior of the rooms is pleasant. The breakfasts are not bad, the traditional Turkish breakfast is vegetables, snacks, olives, cheeses. The choice of hot dishes is too small. You can have breakfast on the patio. Friendly staff at the reception.

We stayed 7 nights, on the 2nd floor. The rooms are small and shuffled. There is a kettle, refrigerator, split system. The faucet in the sink is a separate topic, it is not possible to open it! Cleaning-daily (!) We only had breakfast included (in the basement). For breakfast there are vegetables, two types of sausage and five cheeses. There were sausages, fried eggs (shushuka), baked vegetables, baked potatoes once a week - you won't starve to death, but somehow it was meager. A huge plus is the location of the hotel and the polite, helpful staff! On the second day, the split system stopped working (it was quickly adjusted after contacting the reception; after 4 days, the safe stopped opening - and there were passports, money. It was opened only a day later!)

We liked everything. The location of the hotel is good, in general, the rooms are normal for a city hotel. We visited two different types of rooms. We booked a standard, we arrived there are no free standards and we were in an improved one for two days)). They didn't pay anything extra, then they moved to the standard, almost no different, except for the view from the window, improved above, there is a balcony and a view of the sea). The breakfasts are standard European. A big plus is that one of the reception staff speaks Russian. Everyone is friendly. Cleaning standards. The hotel is simply wonderful for relaxing after walking around the city.

Great hotel! Cute, clean, cozy! The restaurant with a terrace on the third floor pleases with delicious cuisine! The price tag is lower than the adjacent local cafes in which numerous touts are trying to imprison you))) You can feed the seagulls from the terrace, there are countless of them here))) Pieces of cheese are quickly snatched out of your hands! Iconic sights within walking distance from 10 to 30 minutes! The breakfasts are varied, you will not stay hungry!!! The staff is very attentive and helpful! Daily cleaning! In general, I recommend it!!!

We liked the hotel.Excellent location for both hiking and access to transportation. Cleaning and linen change every day, the bed is comfortable, and the most important thing is warmth! We were in February and heating is a big plus.We had a room with a balcony. Breakfasts are not a big choice, but we had enough.We had dinner in a cafe next to the hotel, it was somehow cozy, warm and soulful.

A wonderful hotel that is within walking distance of many attractions. There is a bazaar nearby where you can buy almost everything from spices to jewelry! The rooms are not large, but they are very cozy and have everything you need. Room cleaning and linen change were carried out every day! The breakfasts are delicious and varied! The staff is wonderful!!! Very polite and helpful, they will always help and prompt you! Special thanks to Ali Bey, who works in the restaurant) by the way, the restaurant on the third floor offers a stunning view of the beautiful Bosphorus)))

Not a bad hotel in the center of Istanbul. There is a restaurant with a view of the Bosphorus, and excellent kebabs are served. The disadvantage of the hotel is the spiral stairs. The breakfasts are on the 1st floor, the restaurant is on the 4th floor and these crazy stairs. The hotel is small and cozy, and the staff is trying to understand and help you. The breakfasts are not bad, lots of vegetables and fruits, different types of cheese, pastries.

A wonderful hotel, attentive staff, a hearty breakfast buffet (several types of cheeses, sausages, sausages, eggs, salads, vegetables, fruits, muesli, jams, etc.) there is plenty to choose from. Snow-white bed linen, daily change of towels. Thorough room cleaning. The room has a hairdryer and everything you need for a shower. We had a wonderful rest after the excursions. Importantly, the location is on a quiet street, but very close to attractions, restaurants and shops.

The location is great! Close to the main attractions, but at a sufficient distance from the noise. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help and go to a meeting. We had a room with a view of the Bosphorus, very spacious, everything you need to eat, hygiene products, and tea and coffee with a kettle. The maid alone speaks excellent Russian and is also very friendly. The breakfasts are standard, without frills, but you will not stay hungry. Everything is clean and tidy everywhere, in general, no complaints at all.

We visited in 2024, stayed for 10 days for the second time from April to May, which has changed - the advantages are Russian-speaking staff, Wi-Fi is excellent, cleaning is excellent, breakfasts are 3 or 4 out of 5.Russian Russian TV-3 channels - TNT and a couple for Russian Germans. Cons: forget about tea, coffee, sugar in the room, there is only a paid bar, which is 7-8 times more expensive than in the markets. Location - near Marble, Kennedy embankment, Hagia Sophia,gol. mosque,east T1,10 min to Marmaray, 7 min train to the sea,goes to the Orient Express station in one direction. In short, accessibility is good throughout the old part and Galata Bridge is a 20-minute walk from map maps.

We lived there with a tour group. Very small, tiny rooms. The two girls were cramped. I know there are other great options, but we couldn't change them. Very poor breakfasts! Nothing like Turkish tourist hotels! A modest city hotel

Judging by other reviews, it seems we were staying at some other hotel. Positive: 1. The location of the hotel. The sights are just around the corner. 2. Change of linen and towels (with nuances - see below for Cons) every day Minuses: 1. There is no shampoo and shower gel in the room! When asked to extradite them, they refused, saying that they did not have it. 2. Pastel linen and towels with holes and stains (with stickers from Ruslan Aliyev dry cleaning). 3. In a single room, the toilet is located worthy of a separate boiler in hell for whoever designed it (see photo)! 4. Since active construction and repairs are underway in the hotel area, there was no hot water from time to time and the Internet. Electricity was provided by the hotel's noisy diesel generator. 5. An extremely poor and tasteless breakfast. 6. It is worth looking into hidden places in the room - mountains of dust and dirt are immediately revealed (the exhaust fan in the bathroom shocked me! - see the photo) 7. Plumbing is packed to the limit. All cranes, etc. are covered in lime! 8. Disgusting room sound insulation. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, which travel agencies position as 4 stars. There is a maximum of 2 here.

It was a very old hotel, and it was hard to imagine when the renovation was done, but it was clean. The location is excellent if you plan to visit the historical part of the city. Breakfast was included, everything was delicious, and the menu was very varied, but you have to come early tomorrow because a lot of things end at the end.

+ location. All the sights are within a 10-minute walk. The breakfasts are normal, there is tea and coffee in the room. There is a delicious restaurant nearby with prices no higher than the rest. - well, the assholes are lying that the rooms are 20 meters long. There is no such thing there. The Russian-speaking administrator was very obsessive about excursions, of course at exorbitant prices. In general, it's fine. Around in the same price range, everything is about the same.

A very cozy Istanbul hotel. High-quality service, room cleaning, water every day, thanks to Gula!!! We took with breakfast, great breakfasts, delicious, varied, the products were clearly fresh, the freshest pastries, drinks cold, hot, very polite staff. On the top floor there is a chic restaurant overlooking the sea, delicious, maybe not economical, but delicious. From noon to evening, a good-natured girl Milya works at the hotel, she is ready to help with many questions, from excursions to how to go where, special thanks to her!!! At the reception, a friendly, perfectly speaking Russian guy, polite, courteous. All attractions are 10-15 minutes away. Go up the tram tracks to the Grand Bazaar, down the tracks to the Bosphorus The impressions are only good! We'll be back again. Thank you for your attention and hospitality!

A small, cozy hotel. The breakfasts are modest, but you won't leave hungry. It was cool in the room, it took a day to turn on the batteries. Since we only spent the night there, there's nothing more to say. The room was rented with a balcony, but you need to be careful: there are a lot of seagulls and they fly right over the balcony and judging by the footprints on the wall, they do not restrain themselves)

Nice hotel, delicious food, but the rooms are the size of a closet. There are normal rooms with a view of the Bosphorus, but they are more expensive. We agreed on the spot and moved into a room with a balcony ... ;) it is located almost in the very center, but a little towards the Bosphorus. You can say it's a quiet center.

You can always wish for something more meaningful, but this hotel combines an excellent location, walking distance to the center of Sultanahmet district, an excellent, not at all hyped restaurant on the top floor, very attentive staff and a wonderful environment that pleases the eye and, if necessary, the stomach when going outside.

I was with my husband at this hotel from 18.04 to 24.04 It resembles a boutique hotel; the rooms are small but cozy. The breakfast is quite decent; hot dishes, snacks, cheeses, I would like more fruits. The most important advantage is the excellent location - on a quiet street within walking distance from the main attractions. There are many cafes nearby, a small bazaar, which is not as crowded as the Old Bazaar in the center. I want to thank the friendly and attentive staff - Ornan at the reception, then a very nice girl and a bellboy - Belal. I'm sorry if I misspelled the names. One of the disadvantages is sometimes audibility, but we were so tired after the excursions that we slept well. We would like to come here again! Irina and Valery Akinfiev.

Plus: the architecture of the building, the location, the interior design. Cons: even for me, I'm not a selective person, I have a very poor breakfast. Audibility is a separate conversation. We lived in two rooms, as on the first day we were accommodated in a single room instead of the standard. The fact that you can hear the train is nothing compared to the fact that you can hear the people in the rooms, at the reception, the one who smokes in the courtyard.

We stayed at the hotel from August 18 to 22, 2023, an elegant room with a balcony. I liked everything. Clean, comfortable, gorgeous balcony, the room was fresh, we slept with an open balcony, the sea blew beautifully. The hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the central square and the high-speed tram stop. At the same time, it is located on a quiet street. The cleaning is good, the service is good too. The food is delicious in the restaurant.

I have already left a similar review about this hotel. Positive: - Convenient location (5 minutes to the Blue Mosque, 7 minutes to tram T1, the same distance to Topkapi and Hagia Sophia) - There are many cool cafes nearby, but this is not the merit of this hotel - Delicious breakfasts, but on the 3rd-4th day everything becomes familiar and monotonous. - Russian-speaking staff at the reception Of the cons that really spoiled the impression: - The rooms are cold, they were from 17 to 22.03.25, the batteries work every three days, the air conditioner on the wall gives out no more than 23 degrees, at the set 27. The only answer to the request to turn on the batteries is that a technician will be there tomorrow and fix it (no). The window in the shower stall is siphoned, it's impossible to wash in the cold. - The rooms are very cramped, 12 squares at most. You can't turn around in a shower stall, it's about 60 by 60 in size. - The furniture and everything else is in a very tired state, the cleaner "cleans" just for show, adjusts the pillows, and as there were hair and other crumbs on the floor, etc. they will continue to lie there until your departure. - You need to constantly ask for drinking water, soap, coffee and tea, and remind them to replenish it. Towels with holes. - There is little lighting, there are 3 light bulbs on the edges of the room. - VERY GOOD audibility, you will hear your neighbor snuffling behind the wall, and flushing the toilet will resemble a volcanic eruption. At night, everyone walks down the hallway, laughing, shouting, running, and didn't get enough sleep for a couple of nights. - There is a railway line 20 meters from the hotel, well, it's clear, I won't explain all the charms. - The headboard of the bed is made of iron, people often bump their heads, the pillows are small and uncomfortable, and the mattress creases. - The hair dryer buzzes like the roar of a racing car or tractor

Indeed, the comfort and location are among the advantages. A big disadvantage is the sound insulation and the dimensions of the room. You have to squeeze into the shower. There is nowhere to hang outerwear, there is no place to put a suitcase either. The bed is creaky, even turning over from side to side will not work silently.
